The deadline to vote for the People’s Choice award in the Fantastic Fair Foods contest has been extended until noon Tuesday.

Problems with the QR code on Friday resulted in the deadline being moved ahead a day, said Bryan Groves, vice president of sales and marketing for The State Journal-Register, which along with the state fair is sponsoring the food contest.

Vendors with Fantastic Fair Food entries have banners at their stands indicating their contest food, as well as a QR code that will allow patrons to post “selfie” photos of themselves eating their favorite food to sjrcontest.com/selfie.

Judges chose winners in the best-tasting and most creative fair food categories last week.
